So, we’re trying something new since the relaunch of the game! Now, along with the Age Up at the beginning of each moon, we’ll be doing an Activity Check every month. There's no Age Up this month, though, since we haven't switched moons just yet. That will happen once October starts ^^
If you were part of the site back when it first started, you’ll remember we had an Activity Check then too, but merged it with the Age Up for simplicity’s sake. They’ll still be done together at the beginning of each moon, but there will be an additional Activity Check without the Age Up in the middle of each moon as well. Activity Checks are also going to work a little differently, to better determine who is active and who is not. This is sort of a test run, to see how things go.
It’s September 1st, so this is the start of our first Activity Check! Since this is a test run, it’s going to be a little different than it will be for later Activity Checks. Normally I would ask for only those who joined/created characters prior to August 1st to take part, but the majority of active players joined after that so this time around I’m going to get everyone to try it out.
You'll have until September 14th to reply to this thread and list all of your characters and link one or more threads for each of them. These must be threads that they have been active in during the month of August. If any of your characters fail to have at least one thread and you are not on hiatus, they will receive a “strike”. If three strikes are accumulated that character will be confiscated, however strikes can be removed by meeting requirements for Activity Checks 6 months in a row.
If you have confiscated characters, you will have two weeks to either attempt to reclaim the character by explaining your lack of activity, make it an NPC, or let it go to general adoptions. Characters that are not reclaimed after a month of being confiscated will be automatically put into the general adoptions.
As always I've managed to ramble on far more than necessary, but hopefully I've explained this all well enough! Don't worry, any strikes that your character would receive this month won't count since this is a test run. Hopefully this system works out well, feel free to share what you think of it and/or suggest changes!

I hope you the best of luck on that!
And sorry I took so long! I had some problems with a friend, and didn't really feel like getting on because of that, you know?
